We’re finally back with a new episode of The Build Up, featuring myself and good buddy Jon Setzen. Thankfully Jon defeated his sinus infection so that we could continue bringing you snarky, beer fueled commentary about design, technology, music, food, etc. Here’s an overview of what we spoke about in this episode.

• The joys of using Vine
• Cool people to follow on Vine
• Thoughts about the BVD rebrand of 7-11 (putting lipstick on a pig)
• Ugh, nostalgia fueled design
• Yay, Harvard Books redesign
• The forward thinking of Billboard
• Musicians making millions
• Everybody’s working for the weekend

• Creative Mornings, Joe Stewart and the sandwich as a design metaphor
• People hate change
